I am asking if a ROKU device will allow me to watch my netflix account on a older Panasonic plasma TV that does not support the streaming of the Netflix account now. Some kind of adapter suggested needed?

If the TV has HDMI inputs, you can use any Roku device. If cost is an issue, I would recommend the Express 4K+. Do NOT get the regular Express, as it has too little memory and runs into constant issues.

@DennyPAs the other member stated, Roku's connect via HDMI so the Panasonic will need to support 1080i (HD) in order to use it. If yours is 720p, it probably uses RCA composite connections which won't work with current Roku models. I owned a couple of Panasonic plasma and the switch to OLED is remarkable as is 4K resolution

No Roku I know of has ever supported 1080i. All current models support 720p and 1080p, and the 4K models support 2160p. I had an older Panasonic plasma (ST30, 1080p) and it worked just fine with my Roku players at the time.

My sister-n-law house and cat sits for us when we are away. As she is a mildly techno luddite she likes things easy and simple so only uses our TV remote for viewing. This included the inbuilt Netflix TV app. The last time she sat for us it did not work and threw up the error "Netflix no longer supports this TV"

I wish that TV manufactures would just release just as good TV monitors (AS ANOTHER OPTION) as they do with the screens of their smart TV's. Build in home network WiFi and LAN cable ability PLUS the ability to hookup to; TV, Chromecast dongle, SmartVU etc. Though they would have built in sound reproduction, their main sound ability would be HomeTheater or smart soundbar connectivity etc.

My Sony died a few months back so I had to get a replacement. I got a cheap Samsung, but press the wrong button and suddenly it's opening things I don't want and trying to get me to agree to terms I have no interest in agreeing to.

Smart TVs get out of date way quicker than their actual lifespan, I have a 2014 55Inch Sony "Smart TV" that is nothing more than a dumb panel now but there is nothing actually wrong with the TV, it is not connected to the network anymore

I have an old Sony that I have always only used as an HDMI monitor, even when it was new. Still works fine for that and everything else comes via other devices. Not the latest and greatest but meets my needs perfectly.

Friend bought a smart TV a few years ago, and asked for my advice.... I said to get something like a NUC, as Smart TV's tend to stop after a while with their "smarts" and at least a PC you can keep up to date etc... so he did that.

I have an old Harmony universal remote that does the same. I programmed every device into it years ago. Switches seamlessly beween devices as needed, along with inputs and outputs and settings. Some might sneer that it is IR, but it works brilliantly with everything and LOS has never presented a problem. No reason to fix it if it ain't broke.

My VT50 spat that at me aaaages ago. So I had to start using the less functional features of Chromecast (less without using a mobile for remote). Presumably the audio/new household locking restrictions were a part of it.

Hello everybody
I have a Panasonic TX-65GZC954 OLED TV installed in my Control4 setup. The appropriate driver was installed via SDDP.
How can I start Netflix, Amazon Prime, Zattoo directly? In the Composer under Panasonoic App, not programing ... How can I assign the apps?
Many thanks for your support!

Panasonic doesn't support universal mini drivers, devices which do are listed in the driver docs. Your pretty much limited to listing the Panasonic App menu under the watch menu. Selecting that will open the smart hub on the tv, from there you can select youtube etc.

The Neeo is quite a bit better at a lot of other things (lights, thermostats, audio service selection/playing), etc. than the SR260, but if you want it for starting Netflix with one press on your Panasonic, you're out of luck.

Yea I am BIG panasonic guy myself and have a new OLED too. I really wish I could directly launch mini apps but it can't be done. At least the IP integration is rock solid. In two years of having it I've only ever had to hard power cycle the TV once, and I've never messed with Composer or C4 becuase the TV lost connection. It is solid.

I would stick with the current driver and just assigns the Apps page to a custom button - since it's a minor inconvenience and there are other apps Amazon prime also available.

The TVs are really good only drawback is high power consumption in standby when WOL is activated - its 15w on my 2018 OLED.
I did however program a workaround and turn it in via IR and use IP control for the rest

last time I checked for a Stan App it didn't have one. Netflix runs really well though and I prefer the poster/DVD cover sized thumbnails as opposed to the screen grab style of Apple TV. Dunno why they are different tho. It has others like Youtube as well, I'd need to check iView and SBS onDemand. If I remember I'll check tonight.

does the pana maintain original frame rate, dynamic range and resolution ? like appletv ? something wil check its a bug bear on some of these players, apart form original sammy 8500 all rest since have found forced everything to 4k 50/60 HDR no matter if were not and say just 4k only 24p and/or SDR

hi paul. its a good question.... answer is most stuff natively is 24p .... see what pana does, is it upsampling everything to 50/60p ? the playback info button should show incoming vs outgoing ...your TV will tell you this with its info button showing what is incoming same with non 4k stuff is it upsampling ? SDR stuff upsampling to HDR ? worth checking

Your 9000 and other current panas no doubt has manual settings and a plethora of others Al that auto sync edids to 60p [ if you cant stand 24p frame judder ? it bugs a few out there sensitive to it iirc] . Looking at the video processing steps it can even pulldown 60p uhd to 24p ; it also passes all uhd tests as the review below shows

Things like HDR format, bit-depth, and resolution are all part of the EDID protocol that all displays use to communicate with source components. If you like to tweak, you can set the video signal to 4:2:0, 4:4:4, or RGB output. Many displays look their best with an RGB signal. You can also set the HDR format and color depth manually along with 24p support.

That's what your paying for with the pana compared to the apple 4k Pauli ;its tone mapping for uhd means you get close to your displays capabilities so you don't get a washed out look as the player does the tone mapping instead of relying on your display which can be variable No Stan though ..

There's some good news out there for aspiring documentary film makers and Panasonic users - the Panasonic S1H has recently been certified for Netflix! The S1H is the first video/stills hybrid camera as well as the first mirrorless camera to be accepted by the platform. This means that getting your underwater video on Netflix is just a little bit more feasible as the Panasonic S1H is more of a consumer priced camera at $4,000 than a professional cinema camera.

So what does it take to get Netflix certified? As the world's leading streaming service, Netflix holds content shown on its site to stringent technological standards. Here's what Netflix requires from cameras used on its platform:

When looking at the Panasonic S1H specifically, the S1H supports pixel-for-pixel readout in DCI and UHD 4K with the full width of its sensor and in Super 35 mode. It also supports pixel-for-pixel readout in 4K @ 60fps. Because Netflix doesn't allow line-skipping, the S1H is limited to use in 4K - the camera is not certified at higher resolutions for netflix.

Unlike with the Panasonic S1 and S1R, the S1H is promising a long list of powerful specs. The S1H could be the future of underwater videography. At an estimated retail price of $4000, the S1H is on the expensive side for a camera body. But it is also the first interchangeable lens camera that can capture 6K video. Real underwater cinema set ups that can shoot more than 4K video start to reach prices that exceed the price of many cars. So this is an economical option for any underwater videographer looking to capture the finest details the oceans have to offer. Moreover, 4K @ 60p with 10 bit recording promises beautiful color tones between shadows and highlights. And the V-log picture profile has our mouths watering. Being able to capture 14+ stops of details is a dream for any underwater videographer facing difficult lighting conditions where a single scene can include bright sun and dark abyss.
